Goobye ISEE: Monitoring an EVA with RSP: day 4

I've finally been able to have the B-Series switches recognized in SIM. However, I was expecting the Brocade SMI-S provider to give me the serial number, which kind of limits its usefulness for me. The next step is seeing if I can actually have it appear in OSEM.

Hints:
1. Be sure that the hostname of the switch, and its DNS name, are the same
2. If SIM discovers the switch by scanning the network before finding it from the SMI-S provider, it will create an "unmanaged" entry and it won't override it. So delete them before running an identifying systems on the server which has the SMI-S Provider.

Good luck
